Milbank U1253-X-KK-K1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U1253-X 3-position meter socket work on a 3-phase service?
No. The U1253-X is a 1 phase, 4 terminal socket rated 300 volts AC at 60 hertz. Four jaws is the single-phase 3-wire configuration; a 3-phase service needs a 5 or 7 jaw socket. If your utility spec calls for 5 terminals on this same enclosure, order the U1253-X-5T-K1, which is the 5-terminal build with the K1 hub.
2) Can the Milbank U1253-X ringless meter socket be mounted outside?
Yes, outdoors is what it is built for. The enclosure is UL Listed and Type 3R, which is the rain and sleet rated designation for outdoor use, and the body is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish. It surface mounts to a wall. If you need it freestanding off a pole or rack instead, the U1253-X-KK-K3-PED is the pedestal mount version.
3) Is 200 amps on the Milbank U1253-X per meter position or total for all three?
The 200 continuous ampere rating is the socket rating for the meter positions, and there are 3 positions in the one enclosure. It is a straight metering enclosure with no main breaker and no bypass in the base build, so overcurrent protection for each tenant has to come from separate downstream equipment. Size your service conductors and the utility's service point accordingly, because nothing in this can protects the bus.
4) Do I order the plain closing plate or a hub with the Milbank U1253-X?
That depends on how the service comes in. Cable entry is overhead or underground through a center wireway, and the base U1253-X ships with the large closing plate covering the hub opening, which suits an underground lateral coming up into the wireway. For an overhead drop through a weatherhead you want a hub in that opening: the U1253-X-K1 has the K1 hub, the U1253-X-K3 has the K3, and the U1253-X-K1-CAPL adds a sealing cap on the K1.
5) Which Milbank U1253-X version has a horn bypass?
The standard U1253-X is built with no bypass provision. For lever or horn bypass so the utility can pull a meter without dropping the tenant, order a KK version: U1253-X-KK is horn bypass alone, U1253-X-KK-K1 adds the K1 hub, and U1253-X-KK-K3-PED combines horn bypass, K3 hub and pedestal mounting. Most utilities that require bypass on a multi-position can will tell you which one to submit.
6) What do the BL, BLG, DLC and QG suffixes mean on Milbank U1253-X meter sockets?
Those are utility-specific builds of the same 3-position can, submitted where the serving utility has an approved-equipment list. U1253-X-KK-K3-BL and U1253-X-KK-K3-BLG are horn bypass with a K3 hub, U1253-X-KK-K3-DLC is the same pairing to a different spec, and the QG versions come as U1253-X-QG-KK-K1 with a K1 hub and U1253-X-QG-KK-K3 with a K3. Order the code your utility's service handbook names, not the generic one, or the inspection gets rejected.
7) How much wall space do I need for a Milbank 3-position 200A meter socket?
Plan on 34.5 inches wide by 14 inches high, with 5.125 inches of depth off the wall. The three positions sit side by side, which is why the width runs the way it does, so check that the meter bank clears panel doors, downspouts and the working space the inspector will want in front of it before you set the unistrut.
8) What is a ringless meter socket and why would my utility require one?
Ringless means the meter is held by a hinged cover over the socket rather than a sealing ring clamped around the meter rim. Utilities specify one or the other, and the two are not interchangeable at the meter, so the U1253-X only accepts a ringless installation. Check the utility's service requirements before ordering, since a ringless can on a ring-type territory will not pass the meter set.
9) Does the Milbank U1253-X meter socket include a house panel or receptacle?
No. It carries zero receptacles, zero main breakers and no bypass in the standard build. It is metering only, so a house load for hall lights, a well pump or common-area circuits needs its own separate panel fed from the service. Budget the extra enclosure and conductors into the job.
10) Is the Milbank U1253-X the right can for a triplex or a small strip center?
It fits where you have exactly three single-phase tenants on one 200 amp service point: three apartments in a triplex, three suites in a small retail strip, three units in a mixed-use ground floor. For four or more tenants you want a larger multi-position can or a modular metering assembly rather than ganging two of these. For one tenant, a single-position 200 amp ringless socket is the cheaper and smaller answer.
11) Will a Milbank U1253-X hold up on a coastal or industrial site?
Construction is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish over it, a two-layer corrosion package, and the enclosure is Type 3R for outdoor rain and ice exposure. That is the standard specification for exterior service equipment on commercial and multi-family buildings. For heavy salt spray or washdown environments, a purpose-built stainless enclosure is the better call.
